Annual Garage Sale

We have been trying to plan our annual garage sale this year. However, every date I picked something came up and we rescheduled. The stuff has been in the garage for 2 months and taking up too much space it need to go. Dave was ready to donate it but the kids begged to have the sale. This weekend was the last open Saturday until May with soccer season starting next weekend. I was afraid that something would come up again so I placed ads on Craig's List & KSL.com. Dave told us that the signage rules had changed so no signs went up.

We put out all the stuff and WOW!!! who knew we had so much stuff!!! The first ladies showed up with flashlights to check out the goods. They walked away with a fancy dish and vase. The normal early birds from Colorado City were no shows so this might be a bust.


Ryder woke up and promptly came out to finish organizing and putting his touch and pricing on things. He is definitley Dave's Son.
Reganne came out to join us in her pajamas and blanket to guard the money box.


Let's build the race track and maybe somebody will buy it.

No Reganne, do it this way!!

It was a slow morning with cars slowly driving by. Note to self Toys are not a hot item. We gave away a free toy to each child that came.


The sale was officially over at 10:00 but with straglers we weren't finished until 11:00. Even for a bad day without advertising in the newspaper we still made over $80. There is even enough stuff to make a good donation to charity.


So much for a quiet Saturday. No rest for the busy or is that the wicked???
